This is exactly what I did when I wanted to buy a new computer. I used web clippings from various computer sites which gave specs, prices, and reviews of different computers. I also used my Evernote iphone app to take pics of computers and sales tags at stores like Best Buy. I did some further research and finally bought a computer that I love. It came with a rebate which I used my iphone to make a copy of and also took a copy of my receipt.

I do this all the time, Evernote is perfect for this kind of thing. I’m currently shopping for some French Doors and have been clipping sections of websites whenever I find a set I like; any buying tips or other useful info I come across get clipped to EN too. I’ve also got the measurements, and details of builders who could fit them in EN too.

I used to do this kind of thing with bookmarks, but EN is *so* much better for this purpose – I can make my own notes, clip only the relevant bits of info, save manufacturers pdf brochures, create a virtual scrapbook, keep every bit of relevant info together using tags & easily search for a particular piece of info (regardless of whether that info is in my own notes, a website, a pdf or an image). And when I want to read through it all I don’t even need to open my web browser (which would create a minefield of potential distraction!! I have ADHD tendencies so anything I can do to reduce the need to get onto the time-sucking wonderland that is the internet is a good thing!)
